    I bought this phone after reading a good amount of reviews. I already knew what to expect. The phone is very low budget. It works very very slow, so you have to be patient with it. I honestly do not think it's worth more than $30 to get a phone of this quality. I bought this as an emergency phone for my little cousin to use on an extra line I had. It works great for calls and text. The data use will drain the battery, so expect to charge it twice a day. Other times the phone has kept good charge when just used for text and calls. Surprisingly, we were able to use Snapchat on the phone. Again, very slow and very poor quality. I wouldn't recommend this phone to someone who plans to use data alot. I would however just try it out for someone or rather a child who might be prone to losing a phone or Just to keep for calls and texts. Oh, and I would like to add the phone came with a clear case and the charger also got ruined within the first 2 weeks.

    Do not purchase from Bestbuy

    DO NOT shop at this location! Zero customer service or common sense. Ordered an item under my Bestbuy account, my wife paid for it with her card as a birthday gift. They notified me (not her) that it was ready for pickup. I went to pick it up, and even though it's my account, listed under my purchases, my phone number, notified my cell via text, and even with both wife and I listed under "Friends and Family" as pickup persons, they refused to let me pick it up. I then logged in, right in front of them, while they watched, since it was under my account, and added myself as primary pickup person. Doing that created a new order number, and when I showed them they said it wasn't ready for pickup? With the item paid for and sitting there in front of them no less, but because I added myself as primary they didn't even know if they had it in stock anymore because the one they had was listed ONLY for my wife to pickup (which was not true, it only showed her as paying for it with her card) and now that I changed primary pickup person even she could not pick it up? All this coming from the "manager"? When I said I would just cancel and order on Amazon, the response "oh ok, that would be fine, we would be glad to cancel the order for you" Ummm ok, so I can cancel the order, change primary pickup, both wife and I listed under "friends and family" yet now no one can pickup the order? I hope the store manager reads this, as I'm sure my business won't make or break them, but it might make a difference to this location and the store managers bonus program if this is the kind of resources they hire as associates and managers, not able to see what's going on, happier to see you cancel and order and go somewhere else. I'm now closing my Bestbuy accounts, and credit account via Citybank, and will NEVER buy anything from Bestbuy again. This is why next day shipping and top customer service from Amazon is hurting local business, not the price or convenience

    This iPhone 5S look-alike does the basics and seems to be rather sturdy. It has okay picture quality, however, it has begun to stick from time to time although it is only one month old. Appreciated the lightweight case included but was disappointed that there were no earphones in the package.
